We hear your cry for help and stand with you in prayer against the torment of workplace bullies. The Word of God tells us, "For you are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night or to darkness" (1 Thessalonians 5:5 WEB). You are not alone in this battle, and we rebuke the spirit of intimidation and fear that seeks to oppress you. The enemy comes to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you may have life and have it abundantly (John 10:10 WEB).
We must also address the reality that bullying is a form of injustice, and God hates injustice. Proverbs 6:16-19 (WEB) tells us, "There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers." Bullies often operate out of pride, deceit, and a desire to sow discord, all of which are detestable to the Lord. We stand against this in the mighty name of Jesus.
First, we encourage you to examine your heart and ensure that you are not responding to these bullies with sin. Romans 12:17-21 (WEB) instructs us, "Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' Therefore, 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." It is not easy, but responding with godliness and grace can disarm the enemy’s schemes.
We also urge you to seek wise counsel and, if necessary, involve those in authority over you at work. God has placed leaders in your life for your protection and well-being. Proverbs 24:5-6 (WEB) says, "A wise man has great power; and a knowledgeable man increases strength; for by wise guidance you wage your war; and victory is in many advisors." Do not suffer in silence, reach out to those who can help bring resolution.
Now, let us come before the throne of grace together in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister who is enduring the pain and frustration of workplace bullies. Lord, You see every tear, every moment of anxiety, and every attack of the enemy. We ask that You would be a shield around them, a fortress of protection, and a strong tower of refuge (Psalm 18:2 WEB). Father, we rebuke the spirit of intimidation, fear, and oppression that seeks to torment them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17 WEB), and we bind every tongue that rises against them in judgment (Isaiah 54:17 WEB).
Lord, give them the strength to respond with grace and wisdom, not repaying evil for evil but overcoming evil with good. Fill their heart with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7 WEB) and remind them that You are their defender. We pray that You would expose any unrighteousness in this situation and bring justice according to Your perfect will. If there are authorities who need to intervene, soften their hearts to act with fairness and integrity.
Father, we also ask that You would heal any wounds, emotional, mental, or spiritual, that have been inflicted by these bullies. Restore their joy, their confidence, and their sense of worth in You. Remind them that they are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14 WEB) and that their identity is found in Christ, not in the opinions or actions of others.
Lord, if there is any unforgiveness in their heart, we ask that You would help them to release it to You. Forgiveness does not mean what was done was right, but it frees their heart from the poison of bitterness. Help them to trust You with the outcome, knowing that vengeance belongs to You (Romans 12:19 WEB).
We declare that this situation will not break them but will instead draw them closer to You. Use this trial to refine their faith and to glorify Your name. Surround them with godly friends and mentors who can speak life and encouragement into their situation. Let Your light shine in this darkness, and may Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this workplace, as it is in heaven.
In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to stand firm in your faith and trust that God is working even in this difficult season. Remember that "our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory" (2 Corinthians 4:17 WEB). This trial is temporary, but God’s promises are eternal. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and He will guide you through this storm. If you have not already, consider memorizing scriptures that speak to God’s protection and justice, such as Psalm 91 or Romans 8:31-39, to remind yourself of His faithfulness in times of trouble. You are not forgotten, God sees you, He hears you, and He will act on your behalf.

We are praying with you about this, and we are so sorry you are facing mistreatment from two coworkers. That kind of pressure can feel inescapable when you have to walk into the same building each day, and the loneliness of it can weigh heavily.
One thing that often helps in the middle of the tension is giving yourself a small pause before you react. When a bully provokes, there is often a split second where anger or shame rises up and pushes for an immediate response. Taking just one slow breath before you answer can buy your mind enough space to choose a course of action rather than simply absorbing the hit or firing back. It is a simple step, but it keeps you grounded when someone else is trying to pull your strings.
We also want you to remember that the knowledge that others are lifting you up has a real way of sustaining us. Just as you have asked for prayer here, consider whether there is one trusted person in your life, a friend outside of work or someone in your church, who can know what is going on and pray for you by name on the hard days. You do not have to carry this quietly by yourself.
Please join us as we pray:
Father, we come to You for this person who is being bullied at work. You see exactly what is happening, and You know the weight of it. We ask You to shield their heart and mind from the cruelty of others, and to give them steady wisdom for how to navigate each day with dignity. Surround them with genuine support, and in Your timing bring relief and resolution. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

The trial you face with these two bullies is grievous, but let it drive you to the place where all true comfort is found. Is it not a mercy that such an affliction can send you to your knees? I would far rather you were tossed by this tempest into the harbor of prayer than that you sailed on a smooth sea into the rocks of self-reliance. Cry out with the prayer of the Syrophenician woman: “Lord, help me!” That is a prayer for everybody, and for every place, let it be your constant breath. He knows how to deliver the righteous out of all their troubles, and the keys of Providence are still in His pierced hand.
But mark this well: your prayer must be mixed with thanksgiving. Do not come before the throne only with a bitter complaint, but silver the wings of your petition with gratitude. Thank Him that prayer is even possible for a sinful creature, that you may have audience with the thrice-holy Jehovah. Thank Him for the past deliverances you have already forgotten. Thank Him, as dear George Muller did, for the mercy as though you had already obtained it. The absence of thanksgiving is a disease of the soul, a mouth out of taste for heavenly dainties. Will you only send for the Great Physician when you are selfishly in need, and never praise Him for His goodness?
Above all, do not imagine that you must mend yourself before you plead. Deal honestly with God. If you have any root of bitterness springing up within you toward these adversaries, confess it; it is the old corruption of the heart. Go to Him as a sinner, for He will never cast away a sinner that comes according to the truth. Your trouble at work is real, but the soul-trouble of sin is the great ill; if your sorrow over the one pales beside your sorrow over the other, it is a sign of grace.
I am pleading with you to agonize in this matter. Not the foam of idle words, but prayer with force and intensity of desire, a deep hidden torrent cutting a channel through the rock. Wrestle with God, as Paul besought the brethren to agonize with him. And take courage: your great protection is the intercession of Christ. He has prayed for you, and His prayers come from His inmost soul, sealed with His blood. Trust not in the arm of flesh to strike back, for hands raised in prayer must not be raised to strike. Leave vengeance to Him, and cry only, “Now the God of peace be with me. Lord, help me!”

Beloved
The mercy of God is great, yet do not mistake the nature of your true affliction. You have named them bullies, and indeed they wrong you. But He who commands us to show great consideration even while suffering has taught us a severe restraint. You ask prayer for your situation, but consider that the situation of your adversaries is far more fearful.
They who act against virtue and persist in hardness, after the knowledge of right, store up for themselves a fiery indignation which shall devour the adversaries. For as a wild beast, goaded by fury, will not rest until it has devoured its prey, so that fire awaits those who do not repent. I pray not for your comfort only, but that these men may be brought to a knowledge of their true poverty. For what is their insult against you but a fight for a little clay?
The rich man who acts unjustly is the poorest of all, for his treasure is cast out into the yard, while his true house, which is heaven, remains empty. And if the whole world were yours and someone took it, should you pay much attention? This life is but the letters and the foundation. Let us go on unto perfection, building upon the faith a life of such purity that we do not, for a trivial thing like another's sin, ourselves stumble into a greater sin of resentment or despair.
I give you this sound doctrine not for flattery, but that you may exhort your own soul and beat down the reasonings that would destroy the building which God has made. The end of those who persist as adversaries stops every mouth, for the truth shines forth even through what they suffer. Therefore, I pray for your situation: that you may be delivered from this trial, and that those who trouble you may be convicted in their hearts and turn from their wickedness, lest a certain fearful looking for of judgment remain for them.

I am lifting up your situation in prayer, asking the Lord to intervene with these two bullies at your workplace. But more than anything, I want to point you toward the source of genuine peace amid this trial. The deepest need in any conflict is not just for the circumstances to change, but for our hearts to be anchored in something unshakable.
Before we can know the peace of God that guards our minds, we must have peace with God. So often, the turmoil we feel inside is a symptom of a deeper war, a heart at odds with its Maker. Jesus Christ is our peace. He broke down every dividing wall through His sacrifice on the cross, fulfilling the law’s demands and putting to death the enmity that separated us from God. When you turn your life over to Him and receive the forgiveness of your sins, that internal war stops. You are no longer running from God. What follows is a beautiful, deep peace, an assurance that you belong to Him.
That inner peace then becomes a wellspring for facing people who mistreat you. The world looks for peace by controlling everything and everyone around them, but God offers a peace that passes all understanding. It does not depend on your coworkers treating you fairly. It is the gift Jesus promised when He said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.” How do we experience that? The Scripture says God will keep in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed on Him. As your thoughts are fixed on Christ, His power, His love, His control, the chaos of the office does not have to dominate your heart. You can trust He is going to take care of it and of you.
I also encourage you to sow peace, even in this hard ground. Blessed are the peacemakers. That does not mean pretending the bullying is acceptable, but it does mean refusing to let bitterness take root. Pray for these two individuals, because God's desire is for healing and restoration. Seek the peace of that workplace as you pray for it, knowing that your own peace is not found in their approval but in your relationship with Jesus. He is your peace. God’s thoughts toward you are not of evil, but of a future and a hope. Keep your eyes on Him, and let His perfect peace rule in your heart today.
